ezzi.net still down following Sandy storm hurricane
Some datacenters and hosting providers in New York area are still down following the Sandy storm hurricane.
One of them is ezzi.net, which is offline since around 1 am, 30-Oct-2012, CET time (or, 8 pm, 29-Oct-2012 EDT).
To make things worse, no telephone line of the company is answering, there are no updates on their twitter page – as if the company suddenly ceased to exist.
There were short periods of time on the 30-Oct when some of the servers hosted by ezzi.net were up, but as of 31-Oct, it looks like a total blackout for the company – anything hosted by ezzi.net, be it email, websites, DNS – is simply unreachable (including ezzi.net own website).
The following locations are apparently affected by Sandy hurricane:
- 75 Broad Street
- 33 Whitehall
- nLayer at 882 3rd Ave (ezzi.net is located here)
- Voxel/Internap at 111 8th Avenue
- XO, nLayer, Cogent, Verizon, Sidera Networks and AT&T at 882 3rd Ave
- 121 Varick
What are your experiences? Was your hosting in New York area also affected?
Going down is a natural disaster, but the biggest stupidity at their end is no Tweets, no updates on Facebook nothing. Alteast, they can console their clients and update the situation like many others are constantly updating their customers.
This is stupidity at their part.
we were up for 20 mins yesterday, so we know all our data wasn’t lost!
it would be really awesome if someone at ezzi took 5 mins to post a twitter message, or forum post with status. I know it is a grueling ordeal … I’ve done it myself as a former ISP owner … but it would be awesome… If you see this… please just post a comment!
I’m an Ezzi customer as well. I have 20 sites affected by the outage. Some are backed up, others are not.
I’m entirely sympathetic to what people must be going through in NYC. However, I have little patience for the lack of any communication from Ezzi whatsoever. It’s enough of a game changer for me to move on.
I’ve managed to move some of my websites to other servers, even temporary sites indicating that the primary site is down – you think Ezzi would do that for their own. At a minimum, communicate over twitter, for crying out loud.
